Floodwater and tubewells

It is reported that most of our tubewells in the flood affected areas have gone under water and there is an acute shortage of drinking water. Over fifty thousand people of our country are now reported to be suffering from the water borne disease diarrhoea. Our Ministry of Health is issuing and publishing advertisements in newspapers and also making announcements over radio and television as to how to procure drinking water from the tubewells gone under floodwater by fixing an extra tube/pipe on the mouth of the tube well above the level of floodwater for supply of drinking water. Has the Ministry of Health supplied any extra pipe/tube to the flood affected people or made any public demonstration as to how to fix an extra pipe/tube on the mouth of the tubewell for supply of drinking water? We appreciate practical work, instead of theoretical advice and suggestion.
